“He’s going to start to emerge as one of the best midfielders in the competition, we’re talking top five.”

had some huge praise for Dons skipper Zach Merrett after his latest dominant display 🤩

I know I give Freo fans a tonne of shit, but at the end of the day it's just rival banter.
It would be cool if the club could wear armbands as a sign of condolence to Cam McCarthy. At the end of the day he was a WA footballer and good dude, gone too soon.
Curtin and Collard look genuinely pissed theyre going to interstate clubs. The Reid family running around in Eagles gear is brilliant haha Harley looks genuinely stoked which is great. Reid, Hewett, and Ginbey - the future is sky high
"I want to make this really clear...I've never had one issue with Harley Reid."
Sam McClure has his say after Reid was taken by West Coast with pick one.
I was extremely bullish on not splitting the pick last season, and was legitimately dreading the thought of North offering 2+3 for Harley. Thank god they didn't because he's gonna be the best player in the league in a few years
Mitchell Johnson getting sacked from his column over the Warner opinion is a farce. David Warner is a great cricketer. He’s also a proven cheat and a player who hasn’t performed at test level consistently for years.
Feel like Maric should be permanently used in the Lecca role of high half forward, helping out the midfield and occasionally going deep into the forward pocket. His foot skills are elite
At this point if you’re still subscribing to The West for anything to do with sport-related content, drop your subscription, allocate the money to Code Sports. You’ll be more informed, actually have decent writers and people in the industry to choose from. It also sends a message
I'm going to talk more about him when I finish the wrap up from yesterday, but not enough has been said about Roo Ginbey's game yesterday. That lace out kick to find J Train in the 4th was a snippet of what's to come. He's very clean below his knees, an absolute man beast
If clubs actually do off Harley a 10 year, $18mil offer you can bet your ass we’ll match that….
Kid’s the future. He’s the best thing to happen to WA football since Cousins.
"I think at the same time you can condemn the behaviour and support the person.
"People should be outraged about violence against women, part of the solution is supporting these young men so these sort of things don't happen again."
Brad Scott on his Tarryn Thomas comments.
Absolutely stoked they've dropped Witherden and Gaff. That's a step in the right direction. Barnett playing means Bailey Williams will most likely play forward a little more. Chesser in is absolutely deserved.
Worst effort so far this season lads. Absolutely deplorable. No excuses, synergy might not be there but personnel is and effort can be. Just a complete disgrace from the very start.
Charlie Cameron will be available for Brisbane's round 19 clash against Sydney after his three-match suspension for rough conduct was dismissed at the AFL Appeal Board.
Full details:
Watching Harley, I haven't been this excited for an Eagle since Judd.
Remembering back to Judd in his first dozen games, we saw the flashes of brilliance of what he would become, but he didn't show the full package that Harley's showing the first handful of games.
The kid's 🔥
@JakebWaddell
Give it a spell Jakeb. Kid's one of the best things to happen to WA footy in a long time and you blokes are completely suffocating him and the club. Long-time readers are sick of it, both Eagles and Dockers fans have had enough. Cover the footy impartially, give the kid a break

@TimGossage
says that Ken Hinkley is at the top of the list for the West Coast Eagles in their search for a new coach.
"In the last 24-48 hours his name has soared into contention at West Coast."
After a game like what we saw on Sunday the idea of a midfield consisting of Yeo, Kelly, Reid, Hewett, and Ginbey kicking it to a forward line of Allen, Waterman, Darling, Ryan, Cripps/Maric sounds pretty fkn appealing not gonna lie..
I refuse to believe this list is this bad. Players like Witherden, Jones, Rotham etc have no place in a functioning AFL side, but there’s enough talent on this list to be competitive. This is a mental issue, and it starts at the top
Very interesting that Maric mentioned he's been training with the midfield group with an emphasis to build his tank and possibly "pinch-hit" on the wing later in the season. He may be the best user of the footy we have, is quick, tall, and a really good overhead mark. I like it..
West Coast mid-season draftee Ryan Maric has extended his contract, is enjoying his footy and has no plans of heading anywhere else.

Fairwell Jack, absolute beast in your prime when you were on, unfortunately just struggled to take the
#1
spot. Still our 2nd best key forward ever though
A big club like Essendon… lol
West Coast are the biggest club in Aus, the sheer amount of revenue the Eagles bring in compared to every other club is crazy. It’s amazing that recent onfield results can cloud this much judgement.

The Eagles, in the space of 1 offseason, have transformed nearly all departments, showing they’re no longer going to settle for low profile signings to get it done. A powerhouse club doing what it should with the resources it has…
It's early but loving what Don Pyke's brought to the club since taking over from Trevor. Every home game Don's with past player and us members mingling and chatting. He's active, personable, wanting to know what members and supporters are feeling. He's also proactive in his role
Wanna hear something crazy?
Chad Warner wasn't considered an explosive/speedy midfield prospect leading up to the 2019 draft. He also didn't have what many considered to be a "penetrating kick"...
Amazing what a decent fast twitch muscle training routine will do to a player..
2 things here:
#1
- McClure continues to double down on being a misinformed prick.
#2
- Kane Cornes is defending-hell PRAISING- West Coast?
Wtf is happening?
"He was sending a message to people like you, Sam, and others, who were saying he's not there for the long haul."

@WestCoastEagles
9 disposals 2 tackles 4 clearances for JHF at 3/4 time....
...but he runs really fast, plays with his socks up and occasionally does some special shit and he's the next big thing..
Noah Long looks in top nick. Was down at training briefly today and he just stands out with his professionalism and class.
The energy is palpable in the group with this injection of youth. All the 2021 & 2022 draft classes look in superb shape.
No more priority picks for North, it's not working. Salary cap incentive to lure experience, then make them work this shit out themselves. This team is just getting a free ride and taking the piss now...
“Opening Round” is dumb and makes the AFL look and sound insecure. BT talking up support in Sydney, while talking up 40,000 at the SCG (for the 13th time - who cares) is pathetic.
There I said it.
Eagles fans getting pissed at TB for wanting to leave - calm down.
This may end up being a decent play if the club can draw a first plus player/pick. We will be in a far better position to bring in players that compliment the young guys/add to the talent pool.
No disrespect to a near 300 gamer and our second most prolific goal scorer but I'm glad Jack Darling's money is coming off the books. Opens up opportunities for Jack Williams to further develop and hopefully will allow Waterman and Allen to better gel
As much as this sucks, we need to maximise this offseason, and the heavy crop of high end mids available. This could mean we land a Sid Draper AND Lalor
